Joint and Spine Institute

St. Mary's Joint and Spine Institute

The Joint and Spine Institute at St. Mary's Medical Center offers a
wellness-oriented program for people recovering from joint replacement
surgery. Our approach focuses on achieving a high level of patient satisfaction
and providing a comfortable, relaxed environment for optimal recovery.

The team in the Joint and Spine Institute at St. Mary’s manages care
among doctors, nurses, and physical and occupational therapists. St. Mary's
is among the first facilities in the area providing outpatient knee and
hip replacement for those who qualify. Patients taking the more traditional
path of inpatient surgery are admitted to a dedicated unit, where they’re
fast-tracked for a successful recovery that includes in-hospital rehabilitation,
in-home therapy, and outpatient physical therapy, as needed. Most patients
go through various therapies together.
